Oje Ken Ollivierre, más conocido por su nombre artístico Protoje, nació el 14 de junio de 1981 en la parroquia de Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica. Desde temprana edad, Protoje estaba destinado a influir en el mundo de la música. Creció en un hogar donde la música era una constante. Su madre, Lorna Bennett, fue una cantante de reggae que tuvo un hit en los años 70 con "Breakfast in Bed", mientras que su padre, Mike Ollivierre, también estaba involucrado en la industria musical.
La exposición temprana a la música sin duda moldeó la carrera de Protoje. Durante su adolescencia, empezó a escribir sus propias canciones, aprendiendo de artistas como Bob Marley, Peter Tosh y otros pioneros del reggae. A pesar de su amor por la música, Protoje también se destacó académicamente y asistió a la Universidad de las Indias Occidentales, donde estudió la historia y la teoría de la música.
Protoje empezó su carrera musical de manera seria a mediados de la década del 2000. Su primer sencillo, "Arguments", lanzado en 2005, llamó la atención de la industria musical. Sin embargo, fue su álbum debut, "Seven Year Itch", lanzado en 2011, el que lo catapultó a la fama. Este álbum incluyó éxitos como "Rasta Love" y "Dread", y fue recibido con elogios tanto en Jamaica como en el extranjero.
Después del éxito de "Seven Year Itch", Protoje continuó su ascendente carrera con el lanzamiento de su segundo álbum,
